My Vision for a "Zero-Restriction" Fully Modular Terminal on DEXT T3

[U.S]

Hi @Dhan Team, I am writing this as a dedicated user who wants to see Dhan become the world’s most flexible broker. Even with the new DEXT, we feel restricted by a fixed framework. I want to propose a terminal that is a Blank Canvas—where the user is the absolute master. Here is my vision in detail:

1. The ‘Dead Pixel’ Theory (Complete UI Freedom): Imagine a TV screen with one dead pixel—it ruins the entire experience. In trading, any fixed element (Logos, ‘Account Manager’ labels, or unmovable bars) that a trader doesn’t use is a ‘dead pixel’. It distracts focus. I want the power to move, rename, or DELETE any part of the terminal. No restrictions, NEVER.

2. Modular Layout & Corner Resizing (Drag & Drop): Features like Scalper Mode, Super Mode, Option Chain, or Chart Repeat should not be fixed boxes. They should be ‘Widgets’ that I can drag anywhere on the screen. Most importantly, I should be able to grab the corners and resize them (just like a PC window). If I want a giant Option Chain and a tiny Chart, let me do it.

3. Human Memory Shortcuts (Custom Hotkeys): Fixed keys like F2/F3 don’t match every trader’s muscle memory. Every hand is set differently. I should be able to map ANY key for ANY action. For example, using ‘1’ to Buy and ‘Enter’ to Sell. Speed comes from comfort, not from rigid rules.

4. Instant ‘Live Report’ (The End of Support Calls): When a trade gets stuck or a technical glitch happens, we don’t have time to record screens or wait on long support calls. We need a ‘Live Report’ button on the terminal. One click should instantly send my terminal’s live data logs to your tech team. You should see what I am seeing in real-time, so the issue is fixed without me explaining anything.

5. YouTube-Style Live Community Chat: Trading is lonely. I want a Live Chat feature integrated directly into the terminal where all Dhan traders can connect, share views, and help each other in real-time—just like a YouTube Live stream. We can talk to other traders (strangers) and build a real community while trading. Of course, with an ‘On/Off’ toggle for focus.

6. The ‘Permanent’ Save & Rename: Once I build my perfect layout, I want a ‘Save’ button that I can place anywhere and rename however I want (e.g., ‘My Master Setup’). Once saved, the terminal should open exactly like that every single time, across all sessions, until I decide to change it.

Dhan Team, we don’t want a terminal built FOR us; we want a terminal that we can build FOR OURSELVES. What do you think?

Hi @U.S, thank you for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful vision. We truly appreciate the effort you’ve put into explaining each aspect.

• We’ve noted your suggestion around making DEXT T3 more customizable and flexible. Currently, you can adjust layouts and resize widgets as per your preference, and we’ll continue enhancing this experience further.

• On custom shortcut keys, we are sticking with the current set for now to maintain consistency, though we understand your point on personalisation.

• Your ideas around a Live Report button for instant issue sharing, integrated support, and community chat within the terminal have been noted for evaluation.

• We’ve also taken note of your suggestions on complete UI control, removable elements, and permanent save and rename of layouts.

Appreciate you taking the time to share this in such depth.

[U.S]

Thanks a lot @Mohseen_Usmani!

It’s truly great to see that you’ve addressed each of my points so thoroughly. I am incredibly excited about these features! I truly believe that once this vision is implemented on Dhan, it’s going to be a super-level experience for all traders.

Really looking forward to seeing this become a reality. Cheers!

@U.S

Dhan Team, we don’t want a terminal built FOR us; we want a terminal that we can build FOR OURSELVES. What do you think?

Great thought. Probably we can do this by paying Rs 499 a month(recurring) and take a $60 subscription of Claude Code for a month to build it ourselves .

[U.S]

Haha, good one! But the goal is to have a broker so flexible that we don’t even need to write a single line of code. If Dhan gives us the ‘Blank Canvas’, we’ll be the architects, not just the coders. Let’s hope they make it that simple for us!

[nitishbangera]

@U.S My point is that it would have been thought when Dext T3 was being planned. There were comparisons done with Groww’s 915 and so on. A dynamic layout with its complexities are far more challenging compared to giving a predefined layout or widgets. Its a tradeoff between how economical it is for the broker to give these features vs actual net profits its going to generate. When you keep a track of this thread and see when it would be delivered is when you realise the tradeoff.

[U.S]

You’re absolutely right! At the end of the day, it’s all about business and profit margins. Brokers usually stick to what’s easy to build and profitable.

But I feel that if we as traders don’t push for better tools, they’ll never even try to innovate. Let’s see if Dhan actually breaks the mold or just sticks to the basics. Let’s wait and watch!

[nitishbangera]

Well I had asked for an alert on ray long long back which is still pending. This is a feature which TradingView already gives and alot of trendline traders use it but no signs of it in Dhan. We had alerts go up to 250, have technical alerts and now Dhan has put Notifications on Dhan alerts but absolutely no sign of Ray alerts . Hence I am mentioning it from experience.

[U.S]

I hear you, Nitish. Coming from 6 years of trading experience myself, I’ve realized that building something truly solid—whether it’s a trading strategy or a platform feature—takes immense time and patience.

While small updates like ‘Ray Alerts’ are necessary, my vision for a ‘Modular Terminal’ is about creating a long-term solution for every type of trader (Scalpers, Swing, or Investors). Great things aren’t built overnight. I’d rather wait for a game-changing innovation that empowers the entire community than settle for quick, minor fixes. Let’s keep the constructive feedback flowing!

[Hemank]

Looking forward for this feature, This will be game changer for actual traders on long term.

[U.S]

Thanks, Hemank! Glad we’re on the same page

[nitishbangera]

@U.S Well coming back to my point i.e. Modular terminal is huge and it would depend on what would be the ROI from it. It depends on most features and that’s where things get lost and you will see many such posts here in the community. Its hard to track and hence get buried under.

[U.S]

Hi @nitishbangera , coming back to your point about ROI and complexity. After being recognized as the Top Contributor for April, I’ve spent time refining the ‘Zero-Restriction’ vision into a concrete framework called the ‘Integrity Shield.’ It addresses the #1 pain point for traders: Execution Privacy & SL Hunting. I have the technical logic ready and wanted to share it with you privately to maintain strategic confidentiality for Dhan, but your DMs are restricted. Could you please reach out or enable DMs for a moment? This could be a significant differentiator for the platform.

[Sanjay2704]

Can you elaborate on execution privacy and sl hunting? Have heard these terms for first time

[U.S]

Hi @Sanjay2704 , in simple terms, SL hunting is when large players move the market slightly to trigger small traders’ stop-losses (SL) for liquidity, before the market starts its actual rally. My Integrity Shield suggestion is a framework to prevent this and make retail orders more secure. I’ll be discussing the specific details privately with the team. Thanks!

[Sanjay2704]

Ok.. understood. As per my knowledge there is no sl hunting in actual markets. Sl hunting is small order placed at incorrect levels becoming liquidity for big orders. This happens due to hft algo trades being executed on behalf of whales and institutions at level2 through dark order pools and also due to arbitrage trading.

There is no sl hunting in real markets because even on level 2 data, market makers don’t know where “your” order is. What is visible is where buy orders are and where sell orders are. Data does not show which order is tp order and which order is sl order.

Hope this helps..

[U.S]

Sanjay, you’re looking at it from a very technical and theoretical lens, but the practical market works on psychology.

Whales don’t need to know ‘your’ specific order or see a label that says SL. They target Liquidity Clusters. It’s simple—retail traders are taught to put their stops at the same obvious technical levels. Level 2 data might not label an order as an SL, but the massive Volume Concentration in those zones tells the big players exactly where the trapped money is.

That’s why I’m focused on the Integrity Shield—to protect retail from these predictable sweeps. At the end of the day, it’s not about data points, it’s about understanding where the crowd is trapped.

[Hemank]

Wow!!, Two experience traders are discussing, Sorry to interrupt but Dhan you are really on Higher Low and this “Zero-Restriction“ is going to move toward HH and I don’t think any other brokers can stop you when you make this terminal, You decide Dhan where you want to reach on TOP or middle?

[U.S]

Spot on, Hemank!

You’ve caught the trend perfectly—‘Zero-Restriction’ is exactly that breakout move to hit the ‘Higher High.’ Good to see a new user picking up the vision so accurately and sharing it with the team. We aren’t here for the middle; the goal is the TOP!

[Hemank]

Yes, We want Dhan on top not on middle and zero-restriction black canvas is the only way to reach the TOP!
